I requisiti curriculari per l'ammissione sono definiti nel regolamento didattico del corso di laurea magistrale, in termini di numero di crediti formativi conseguiti in specifici settori scientifico-disciplinari.
In particolare, gli studenti del corso di laurea magistrale provenienti da università italiane dovranno avere acquisito nella loro carriera accademica precedente almeno 81 crediti formativi nei seguenti settori scientifico-disciplinari:
− 18 crediti nel settore SECS-P/01 (Economia Politica);
− 9 crediti nel settore SECS-S/01 (Statistica);
− 9 crediti nel settore SECS-S/06 (Metodi Matematici dell'Economia e delle Scienze Attuariali e Finanziarie);
− 45 crediti nei settori: SECS-P/01 (Economia Politica); SECS-P/02 (Politica Economica); SECS-P/03 (Scienza delle Finanze); SECS-P/04 (Storia del Pensiero Economico); SECS-P/05 (Econometria); SECS-P/06 (Economia Applicata); SECS-P/07 (Economia Aziendale); SECS-P/08 (Economia e Gestione delle Imprese); SECS-P/11 (Economia degli Intermediari Finanziari); SECS-P/12 (Storia Economica); JUS/01 (Diritto Privato); JUS/09 (Istituzioni di Diritto Pubblico); SPS/04 (Scienza Politica); M-STO/04 (Storia Contemporanea); MAT/03 (Geometria); MAT/05 (Analisi Matematica); MAT/06 (Probabilità e Statistica Matematica); MAT/09 (Ricerca Operativa); FIS/01 (Fisica Sperimentale); FIS/02 (Fisica Teorica, Modelli e Metodi Matematici).

Il regolamento didattico del corso di laurea magistrale definisce altresì le modalità di verifica della personale preparazione dello studente.

For admission to the Master’s Degree Course in Economics, in-depth knowledge in the fields of economics and mathematical-statistical sciences is required as well as basic knowledge in the broader fields of business, law, history, social sciences or mathematics. Since the courses will be taught entirely in English, a knowledge of English of at least level B2 will also be required.

The verification of the students’ curricular requirements and personal preparation will be carried out by a special selection Panel, composed of 6 members appointed by the Department of Economics and Management of the University of Pisa and the Institute of Economics of the Scuola Superiore di Studi Universitari e di Perfezionamento Sant’Anna.

In particular, Master’s Degree students from Italian universities must have acquired in their previous academic career at least 81 credits in the following scientific-disciplinary fields:

- 18 credits in the field of SECS-P/01 (Political Economy);

- 9 credits in the field SECS-S/01 (Statistics);

- 9 credits in the field SECS-S/06 (Mathematical Methods of Economics and Actuarial and Financial Sciences);

- 45 credits in the following fields: SECS-P/01 (Political Economy); SECS-P/02 (Economic Policy); SECS-P/03 (Financial Science); SECS-P/04 (History of Economic Thought); SECS-P/05 (Econometrics); SECS-P/06 (Applied Economics); SECS-P/07 (Business Economics); SECS-P/08 (Economics and Business Management); SECS-P/11 (Economics of Financial Intermediaries); SECS-P/12 (Economic History); JUS/01 (Private Law); JUS/09 (Public Law); SPS/04 (Political Science); M-STO/04 (Contemporary History); MAT/03 (Geometry); MAT/05 (Mathematical Analysis); MAT/06 (Probability and Mathematical Statistics); MAT/09 (Operations Research); FIS/01 (Experimental Physics); FIS/02 (Theoretical Physics, Mathematical Models and Methods).

For students from non-Italian universities, the fulfilment of the above curricular requirements will be assessed with reference to the educational content of the courses and examinations taken.

Assessment of meeting curricular requirements and an initial evaluation of personal preparation will be acquired through analysis of the curriculum studiorum, where necessary supplemented by assessment of results achieved in previous academic career, which will be evaluated in relation to the distribution of academic outcomes from educational institutions and/or countries of origin.

For the assessment of personal preparation, the Panel, on the basis of the elements at its disposal, and of the criteria predefined by the Degree Course Board, may supplement the analysis of qualifications and of the CV with additional forms of assessment. In particular, it may proceed:

- on the basis of an interview focusing on the disciplines mentioned in the curricular requirements, also to be conducted by telephone conference and including, where possible, an expense allowance for the candidate;

- on the basis of the results of directly administered tests;

- on the basis of the results of the GRE test.

English language proficiency of at least level B2 or equivalent is verified on the basis of the results of internationally recognised tests or level assessments issued by UNIPI or SSSUP. The test result must normally be available by the application deadline. The Panel may verify the language skills of students without the above-mentioned certifications by means of an interview.
